AGS head Tim O'Connor made it clear he did not want to win by such a ruling. He and MAGS head Dale Burden agreed that last Saturday's premier league game would double as a cup fixture with extra time to be added if needed to find a winner.
It was and again MAGS sneaked home by the odd goal, 3-2, to book a home semifinal with Senior A1 leaders Glendowie College next Wednesday.
"This was an example of how things should be done," said Burden. "We had conceded the game but they did not accept that. This is about two colleagues getting together and sorting it out. It was about playing in the spirit of school sport."
In drawing Saturday's league game (2-2) after 90 minutes, MAGS claimed the point they needed to win their 11th title in 17 years. They are assured of the title before their last game of the season against WBHS at home on Saturday.
"The support for both teams was amazing," said Fallon. "Auckland Grammar played really well but in the end we got home in what was an excellent game of football in which the referee Vaughan Couillault played his part.
"We have had 10 straight results since the loss to AGS. It has been a great season. When I turn up here early every morning there are 20 boys waiting for me. We will lose four or five players next season, mainly from the back five, but the nucleus will be back."
Saturday's win was capped by Scott Doney's 19th and 20th goals of the season. The 17-year-old, 1.93m striker has been in sparkling form and with Monty Patterson has spearheaded the attack. Patterson is off to Ipswich in October.
Fallon said it was somewhat ironic that MAGS had been overlooked by national under-17 coach Darren Bazeley when he sent out-of-town members of that team to WBHS, Sacred Heart, St Kentigern and AGS.
